Best place to start is the Black Hat SEO section here — lots of pinned threads and case studies.
Learn the basics of SEO first, then see how people twist it in creative/automated ways.
Avoid jumping straight into paid tools or spam blasts — test small, learn what works.
Reading + testing >>> any single guide. Start small, scale what gives results.

If you’re new to Black Hat SEO, don’t jump in too fast. Start with a test domain so you don’t risk your main site. Learn one tool at a time (Scrapebox, GSA, basic automation) and read some journey. Watch out for footprints, always test before scaling, and keep notes of what actually works. A couple of good starting points are learning Web 2.0s, tiered link building, and private blog networks (PBNs).

It's a waste of your time to start with SEO as AI is taking over everything; you are 10 years too late.

If you are just starting with Black Hat SEO, the safest way is to learn by experimenting on test sites, not your main project. Spend time reading forums like BlackHatWorld, follow case studies, and practice small tactics first so you don’t make big mistakes. The key is to test, track what works, and only apply proven methods to real sites.

Since you’re new, don’t jump straight into black hat. First learn the basics of White Hat SEO (keywords, backlinks, on-page, content). It’s safer and gives long-term results.

A lot of beginners make the mistake of jumping straight into buying tools or services without really understanding the basics.
I’d suggest starting small, testing on sites you don’t mind burning, and keeping detailed notes on what you try. Also pick up a ton of context from people who’ve already tested different methods on this forum.
Over time you’ll see what actually moves the needle.

I think you can start checking pinned messages here. Always a big help. There’s also a lot of guides people here are sharing. Checking them and taking notes is the way to go.

The whole aspect of BH SEO is mainly about building links, on-page stuff doesn't work nowadays, you have to build genuine website(s),
For links, learn how to build/pick the right PBN, and outreach for links from genuine websites, or whatever method is used,
And most importantly, avoid link farms that are sold by 99% of sellers

You can begin by browsing popular threads on Black Hat SEO forums. If something isn’t clear, search for it—there are years of discussions from thousands of members, offering a huge amount of knowledge to learn from.

Experiment on a test site first, so mistakes don’t cost you real projects.

 

[omptoise3]

best way to get started is to actually test things on a small project instead of risking your main site. Reading guides and case studies here is useful, but you’ll only really learn once you try it yourself. Don’t rush into blasting tools or shortcuts, just focus on one method, see how it plays out, and take notes. Over time you’ll figure out what really moves the needle.

Welcome! The best way to start with Black Hat SEO is to spend some time reading through the Black Hat SEO and Journey sections here. You’ll find step-by-step threads from people who test and share their results, lots of gold in there for beginners.

My tip: before trying advanced tricks, make sure you understand the basics of SEO (on-page, keyword research, content). Black Hat methods usually amplify those fundamentals, they don’t replace them.

Take it slow, experiment on a test site (never your main project), and don’t be afraid to ask questions along the way. Good luck!

Start by reading newbie guides and journeys to understand what works. Test on dummy sites, never your main one. Use proxies and VPNs to stay safe. Do not rush into buying tools; learn the basics first. Keep learning and stay updated on Google algorithm changes.

Start by studying case studies and journey threads—learn from others’ mistakes before testing on your own
